Celebrating 20 years of CareYourWay

December 2025 marked a special moment for CareYourWay - 20 years since the brand was founded in 2005 by the Sabater family, with a clear intention to deliver home care that is personal, respectful and shaped around each individual.

While teams across the network were focused on supporting clients through the winter period and initiatives such as Present for a Pensioner, preparations are now underway to mark this milestone more widely in early 2026, with local celebrations planned across the UK. These events will bring together clients, families, care teams, healthcare professionals, community partners, local dignitaries and supporters to recognise what has been built over two decades — not just as a brand, but within neighbourhoods, homes and long-standing care relationships.

Together, these celebrations reflect both the scale of the CareYourWay network today and the very local way care is delivered, shaped by people who know their communities well.

Local stories at the heart of a national milestone

Although the anniversary is shared across the whole network, each celebration is being designed and delivered locally. Franchise partners are using this opportunity to tell their own stories — why they chose CareYourWay, how their services have grown, and the teams they have built to support people in their area.

For many partners, these stories are closely tied to personal experience: changing careers to do more meaningful work, supporting loved ones through illness, or wanting to build a business that contributes positively to the community. Those motivations continue to influence how services are run day to day, and they are a key part of what gives each CareYourWay office its own character.

Many teams are also inviting clients who are celebrating significant birthdays or milestones of their own, and recognising care relationships that have developed over many years. It is a simple but powerful way of acknowledging that care is not just about tasks and visits, but about continuity, trust and shared moments over time.

The Sabater family vision, carried forward

Behind every CareYourWay office sits the founding vision of the Sabater family, whose commitment to improving home care standards began in 2005 and continues to shape the brand today.

What started as a family-run service has become a nationwide network of locally owned businesses, all operating within the same values framework: treating people with dignity, supporting independence, and delivering care that feels personal, not transactional.

As partners reflect on their own growth during this anniversary period, many are also sharing the story of how CareYourWay began — not as a corporate concept, but as a response to real experiences and a belief that home care could, and should, be better. That continuity of purpose is one of the reasons many franchise partners feel confident building long-term businesses within the brand.

A business model built on quality and consistency

Reaching 20 years also reflects the strength of CareYourWay as a business, not just a care provider. Over time, the franchise model has been refined to give partners the structure, systems and support needed to operate safely, compliantly and sustainably, while still retaining the flexibility to respond to local needs.

This approach has contributed to strong feedback from clients and families, with CareYourWay ranked among the UK’s Top 20 Home Care Groups for the third year running, based on independent reviews. In parallel, the brand has been recognised at the British Franchise Awards as Emerging Franchisor of the Year 2025, reflecting the experience of partners operating within the network.

These achievements are important, not as endpoints, but as indicators that the balance between care quality and business performance is being maintained across a growing network. For franchise partners, that balance is what enables long-term success, stable teams and consistently good outcomes for clients.

Why this milestone matters for future partners

CareYourWay Franchising was created with two closely linked aims: to raise standards in home care, and to help partners build strong, responsible businesses that can grow within their communities.

Celebrating 20 years is not about highlighting how far the brand has come in isolation. It is about recognising what can be achieved when committed local leaders are supported by a stable, values-driven national framework. It reflects the importance of investing in people, developing capable teams and maintaining consistent quality, even as services expand.

For those considering franchise ownership, this anniversary tells a wider story of stability, shared learning and long-term thinking — all of which are essential in a sector where trust and reputation matter deeply.

Looking ahead, with the same values

As celebrations take place across the country in early 2026, they will mark both a moment of reflection and the next stage of CareYourWay’s journey. From recognising the dedication of care teams and the loyalty of clients, to welcoming new partners into the network, the focus remains firmly on building services that communities can rely on for years to come.

We are proud of what has been achieved over the past two decades, and grateful to the partners, teams, clients and families who have made that possible. With strong foundations, a clear sense of purpose and a growing network of committed local business owners, CareYourWay is well placed to continue raising standards in person-centred home care across the UK.

For those considering business ownership with purpose, CareYourWay offers the opportunity to build something that is both commercially sound and genuinely meaningful. If that feels like the right next step, we would welcome a conversation about available territories and how you could begin your own CareYourWay journey.
